One of those sad, but not terribly surprising stories. I remember hearing Caminiti on the Jim Rome Show a few years back and thinking it wasn't going to end well for him. He was pretty much strung out during the interview, started crying at one point and then changed his stance completly on the drug allegtions he was making. At the end of the interview I believe, he commented that he didn't know what the truth was...Sad ending for a guy who was a helluva (juiced up) baseball player. Kind of a "Charlie Hustle" with power....never remember his uniform being clean.

I'm pretty sure it was Rome (and I apologize in advance if I've got the wrong commentator) who said guys like Caminetti wouldn't change their moment of glory nor how they artificially achieved it even if it caused them disastrous medical problems later. The pinnacle was worth the price to them.
"They'd tell you it was worth it," he said, although not endorsing it himself.
I wonder if he's thinking about those words today.
